Panelists Joseph Arminio, publisher of The Citizens'
Monitor, and Carl Christ, professor emeritus of
economics at The
Johns Hopkins University, will discuss whether reinstating
the gold standard would help the United States' economy.
Avoiding jargon, Arminio and Christ will talk about the
ailing American and overseas economies, and will debate the
cases for and against the restoration of the gold standard.
Arminio, an alumnus of Johns Hopkins, is the author of
"Precedent for Peace." Christ is the author of
"Econometrics, Macroeconomics and Economic Policy."
